Management of "stone pain" between the 18th and 19th centuries: A brief history of a medical prescription in the Viceroyalty of New Granada
CONCLUSIONS: There is scientific evidence that could explain the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of all plant-derived medicines used in this prescription. Abundant water intake to increase urine volume was an essential part of treatment. However, the lack of more precise data related to the prescription and the evolution of the patients makes it difficult to analyze its therapeutic efficacy.PMID:33744022 | DOI:10.1016/j.acuro.2020.11.005

Emerging medical therapies in crush syndrome - progress report from basic sciences and potential future avenues.
Authors: Li N, Wang X, Wang P, Fan H, Hou S, Gong Y Abstract Crush injury is a disease that is commonly found in victims of earthquakes, debris flows, mine disasters, explosions, terrorist attacks, local wars, and other accidents. The complications that arise due to the crush injury inflicted on victims give rise to crush syndrome (CS). If not treated in time, the mortality rate of CS is very high. The most important measure that can be taken to reduce mortality in such situations is to immediately start treatment. However, the traditional treatment methods such as fluid resuscitation, diuresis, and hemodialysis ar...

Herbal antioxidants in dialysis patients: a review of potential mechanisms and medical implications.
Authors: Asgharpour M, Alirezaei A Abstract The consumption of exogenous antioxidants isolated from herbal extracts has shown beneficial effects on ameliorating dialysis-related complications through debilitating oxidative stress and inflammatory process. Many clinical studies available in public databases have reported the improved consequences of dialysis in patients supplemented with herbal antioxidants. Exploration of such data offers great possibilities for gaining insights into the potential mechanisms and medical implications of herbal antioxidants. In this work, the mechanisms and implications of some famou...

Medical management of male infertility: now and future
Purpose of review Medical therapy for idiopathic male infertility has historically been empiric and based on small observational studies rather than larger well designed clinical trials. This review is timely and relevant because of the recent publication of several studies that are less susceptible to bias because of being placebo-controlled and more highly powered. Recent findings The largest proportion of recent publications covered antioxidants, with eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) included in this review. The Males, Antioxidants, and Infertility (MOXI) trial is of particular interest, being a larg...

Laboratory assessment of oxidative stress in semen
Conclusion Traditional OS laboratory assessments have their limitations. Amongst the prevalent laboratory techniques, ORP is novel and better option as it can be easily used in a clinical setting to provide a comprehensive review of OS. However, more studies are needed to evaluate its reproducibility across various laboratory centres.

Antiurolithic effects of medicinal plants: results of in vivo studies in rat models of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis —a systematic review
AbstractUrolithiasis is one of the oldest diseases affecting humans, while plants are one of our oldest companions providing food, shelter, and medicine. In spite of substantial progress in understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms, treatment options are still limited, often expensive for common people in most parts of the world. As a result, there is a great interest in herbal remedies for the treatment of urinary stone disease as an alternative or adjunct therapy. Numerous in vivo and in vitro studies have been carried out to understand the efficacy of herbs in reducing stone formation. We adopted PRISMA guidelines...

The protective effect of melatonin on sperm quality in rat after radioiodine treatment
This study was designed to investigate the potential radioprotective impact of melatonin on the testicular tissue and sperm quality in rat given radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. Thirty‐six male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into three groups as untreated control (Group 1); oral radioiodine group (RAI, 111 MBq, administrated rats); and RAI+melatonin group (oral radioiodine and intraperitoneal 12 mg/kg/day melatonin, starting 2 days before and continuing for 1 week after oral RAI administration). Twenty‐four hours after the injection of the last melatonin dose, blood samples were taken for hormone analyses ...

Optimizing male fertility: oxidative stress and the use of antioxidants
ConclusionsProtective agents against ROS, such as antioxidants, may have positive effects on semen parameters in some patients, although a widespread indication is still restricted by practical aspects, including unknown physiological levels of ROS and controversy regarding different concentrations and combinations of drugs.

An Update on Clinical and Surgical Interventions to Reduce Sperm DNA Fragmentation in Infertile Men
ConclusionCurrent evidence supports interventional therapy as a means to alleviate sperm DNA damage. Identification of the conditions associated with SDF remains important to enable treatment to potentially improve pregnancy outcomes but given the limited data further research is needed to determine the exact role of specific interventional therapy for subfertile men with impaired sperm chromatin.

Contrast medium induced acute kidney injury: a narrative review.
CONCLUSION: Pre-existing CKD, intra-arterial administration and CM volume are the most important risk factors for CI-AKI. Since risk factors for CI-AKI are well defined, and the timing of renal insult is known, patients should be carefully stratified before the administration of CM, in order to reduce the negative impact of modifiable risk factors on renal function. The intravenous administration of moderate amounts of isotonic saline solution or bicarbonate solution still represents the principal intervention with documented and acceptable effectiveness for CI-AKI prevention. More data are needed on aggressive volume expa...

Serum Iron Protects from Renal Postischemic Injury
Renal transplants remain a medical challenge, because the parameters governing allograft outcome are incompletely identified. Here, we investigated the role of serum iron in the sterile inflammation that follows kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury. In a retrospective cohort study of renal allograft recipients (n=169), increased baseline levels of serum ferritin reliably predicted a positive outcome for allografts, particularly in elderly patients. In mice, systemic iron overload protected against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury–associated sterile inflammation. Furthermore, chronic iron injection in mice prevented ma...
